Summary
It all started out normal. Better than normal, in fact. I was fresh out of high school, an estimated age of eighteen, the whole world ahead of me. Uni in the big city. Like-new car that I could actually operate. I wasn't thinking about going to war. Nobody was. It wasn't our problem.

Summary
“Please, Tchelishlev,” he murmurs, grabbing fistfuls of the handsome but oh-so ill-fitting suit– “you remember, don’t you?”
Tchelishlev, if it is still him in there, grunts, a low sound more befitting of an animal rather than a man. Fritz’s heart twists at the thought of that tape, of the sight of him warped, changed, laid out on the medical cot with that RED bastard standing over him.
“Mikhail.” The word is a broken thing. “Please.”
—
Once, long ago, Fritz Ludwig and Mikhail Tchelishev meant something to one another. That was, of course, until Mikhail made the decision to defect, and left Fritz alone. That was the last time they saw each other as men— not as weapons, not as monsters.
The war is ‘over’ now. The two of them have both been irreparably changed for the worse. Death has twisted them and spat them back out wrong. But Fritz, even when he is trapped in the throes of the rotten old abattoir, is nothing if not determined.Bookmarked by DahniHeartempest

Summary
Barney Calhoun is a security officer tired to the bone. He has an easy, stable job, a stable income and good colleagues he could call his friends. Life has a routine to it. He has it better than many do. Yet his easy job consists of him fixing squeaky chairs and scientists belittling him. He can't shake the empty feeling stubbornly stuck right in his chest.
Gordon Freeman is a freshly graduated theoretical physicist, hailed with honors and plucked from the academic life by recommendation of his old mentor, Dr. Kleiner. Instead of contributing to achievements that could make lasting impacts on the future, his intellect is constantly questioned and he is handed menial tasks, by virtue of not being able to speak but to a handful of people. Somedays he feels like he's not even part of the human race anymore.
Chance meetings and vent crawlings borne out of frustration later Gordon finds himself whisked into the security team's social circles.
